Is it bad that I dont like using my pet?

For damage anyway? From a pvp aspect.

I always have it on passive, and would much rather have it right by me for freedom and sac, rather than wanting to use it and it ran off somewhere. I dont even like using blink strike (while on passive) because it uses it, then its as if it has to attack everyone in the bg. I thought passive meant passive. (as in it would come back after blink strike.)

Personally, I agree with OP...I kinda wish they implemented something like the Grimoire of Sacrifice for Hunters. Would be kinda awesome, not having to worry about whether or not my pet is doing damage.

You don't sound like you do pvp, because pvp wise, pets brings utility depending on their family for example snares, movement impairing skills, slowing attack or spell cast, while master's call help you escape.

Having said, it seems like for pvp at least, hunter is not the class for you if you think that using pet is too hard.

I talked about this on the official servers, and wave after wave of people were like, "you can't kill my fluffy cutesy pet blah blah blah!"

MM should be about taming a dangerous pet then slaying it to gain it's power, venom tipped ammo, different buffs from different pets etc etc

LOL I clearly said I like to use my pet only for sac and freedom, how does that sound like I dont pvp?

Because a hunter pet can cover basically any buff or debuff in the game, and not using it is gimping you incredibly hard on the battlefield. Works for me though. I'll just make sure I target the hunter with his pet on passive and destroy him.

I'm not too good with macros, but i guess you could macro /petpassive to a number of your often used abilities, like arcane shot or chimaira shot? I do something similar with aspectswitching.

I do the same as you tho, always on passive. Dont even use blink strike Need to have my monkey there in case a stealther comes popping up! Then again, i dont do arenas, just BGs.

i think it's bad yes, extra damage is extra damage, But if that's how you like to play, then play your way^_^

for mm isn't that bad.. ofc you have to use it for blink strike only, but the dmg is meh.. and pvp is just about burst now cc healer -> burst dps (you use blind strike)

you don't have make it attack all the time
